The neuroscience of irony is a bit more complicated than rain on your wedding day. In fairness to Alanis [Morissette], pop singers and Canadians arent the only ones who struggle to understand irony. Theres an entire line of cognitive research dedicated to understanding the concept (as well as its complementary form, sarcasm). Such work not only grants insight into the complexities of language--namely, the gap between literal and intended meaning--but it might teach designers and creative types a thing or two about the power of indirect messages. buff.ly/1sQA5Gv
